My goal was set as follows:
120 walking miles and (to get me to the gym) 90 stationary bike
Fri Sept 1: 4 miles
Sat Sept 2: 4 miles
Sun Sept 3: 4.5 miles
Mon Sept 4: 7.5 miles
Tues Sept 5: 4.6 miles
Wed Sept 6: 5.4 miles
Thurs Sept 7: 4.2 miles
So far that is a total of 34.2 so I'm on track for my goal. Just hope I keep it up!!
I'm taking the mileage from my Fitbit reports and I am counting all the steps/miles. I hope that is okay?
So far, have not gotten myself to the gym, but I know me. If we get to Sept 30 and I haven't got my miles on the bike, I'll be there at 11 p.m. trying to do 90 miles before midnight. I will get there over the weekend, I hope!
Everyone is doing so great. WTG, guys!!

I lost 50 pounds and my cholesterol levels dropped. I have gained a bit of weight back. I am trying really hard too get that off but I seem too have problems dropping my calories low enough...I dont' give up. I just keep taking one day at a time...
ANYONE that MOVES too try and better their health is NOT A LOSER! I am happy too have all of you here with me. I have been doing these challenges since OCTOBER 2013 . People come and go. I think one month I was by myself for most of the month. IF I ever give up/quit then I know I will fall back into old habits and ruts. SO with GOD'S help I carry on...
Jeannie, well, have you beat. I'm 67 so I am probably oldest, but I agree with you 100%. I got into walking because I couldn't even get to the front door without a walker and it seemed like I would just get sicker and weaker if I didn't do something. So I went to pulmonary rehabilitation to deal with lung issues and started to walk. Had some set-backs, but in April this year I got a FitBit and it has helped soooooo much! It spurs me to walk more and to just be more active. I aim for 10,000 steps a day now (started at 3000) and sometimes do more. Since April their badges say that I have walked more than 500 miles. I really believe that being active like this will keep me able to be independent and healthier for far more years. Otherwise, the way things were going I was just slowly dying.
In two years, I have evicted 107 pounds, my blood sugar is under control and I take very little insulin anymore, and I may even be allowed to get rid of one of the asthma medications. There are still health issues, but right now I think I'm healthier and more able to do things than I was 20 years ago. God has allowed me a miracle!3 -
Love your post Lin! I too had health issues in 2009 when I started my journey. I am Insulin Resistant which makes it very hard too lose weight and keep it off. I gain here and there and when I lose it is less than I gain. I am happy I have kept most of the weight off but still I've gained a bit I am trying too lose! For awhile Dr had me on Cholesterol meds. I felt I could barely walk! I told my Dr I had lost too much weight and I felt I could barely walk now so I stopped that medication. Dr not very happy but I can walk again without pain!!!!!!! IF I could drop my calorie range down too at least 1300 daily I could probably lose the rest of the weight. I just find that difficult. ....Being Insulin resistant did not let my weight come off quickly. It took me 2 years too lose 25 pounds when Dr did a test too see why I was losing so slowly. That is when he found the Insulin Resistance. He did place me on med for that and I lost the other 25 pounds but it was at a slow rate as well. I would gain a couple, lose a pound, lose 2 pounds, gain a pound. Which is pretty much where I am NOW...
People have given me so many different ideas too my weight loss. Some say I need too eat the 'NET' back. Some say that is why I'm not losing weight. When I do though I gain weight. I just get confused by it all..
I am so proud you have lost so much weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is what I told my mom once. YOU GOTTA MOVE. Seems people get too retirement age and they just sit down!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want too live as long and healthy life as possible! YOU HANG IN THERE!
Will log later today after our walk...1 -

In August, I ended up within the range I wanted to end up ... between my 2015 August and my 2016 August. I would have liked to get closer to my 2016 August, but a cold/flu/sinus infection kind of took me out of the game.
I see September has been a relatively low-exercise month the last two years ... ideally I'd like to improve on that and do slightly more this year.
Sept 1 - 1.4 km walking (15 min)
Sept 2 - 161.9 km cycling (510 min)
Sept 3 - 0
Sept 4 - 0
Sept 5 - 4 km walking (50 min)
Sept 6 - 5.4 km walking (65 min) + 13 flights of stairs (10 min)
And then winter came back and the weather has not been nice ...
Sept 7 - 2.2 km walking (25 min) + 16 flights of stairs (12 min) + weights
Sept 8 - 1.7 km walking (20 min) + 20 flights of stairs (16 min)

ACUTALLY I have an update. I had planned on mowing (with Push mower) tomorrow. However the weather was nice, cool and dry so I mowed the whole front and one side of lawn. That gave me another 3.0 Steps miles..
Walking with dogs is good but they do stop here and there! lol With a push mower you just keep going as fast as you can...lol

FYI:
We are in Tennessee. Expected severe winds, rain, power outages where we are from the Florida Hurricane. I most likely will not be here a few days. Also we were suppose too be away a few days. Whatever I will log any walking progress when I can....
EVERYONE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! 1 -
